About Morgan:

  • A woman with curly brown hair sitting cross-legged on a brown couch, smiling, wearing a patterned sweater, jeans, and a necklace with a blue pendant.

  • My Vibe:

    I’m collaborative, laid-back, and affirming. I tend to prioritize slowing down, mindfulness, and curiosity in session. Since I do telehealth work, I encourage clients to get cozy in their space— grab a blanket, kick off your shoes —whatever feels right for you.

  • On a Personal Note:

    When I’m not in sessions, you can find me making travel pinterest boards, drawing, watching my comfort shows, and spending time with my spouse & our two chihuahuas.

My Guiding Principles:

  • Culturally Responsive:

    I recognize that our cultural identities such as race, ethnicity, religious membership, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status significantly influence our experiences, our mental health, and point of view. I value and respect client’s unique cultural beliefs, practices, and worldview. Conversations about cultural realities are very welcome in therapy with me.

  • Trauma-Informed:

    Trauma is not just an event or series of events, but something we carry with us. I recognize that we can carry trauma in a variety of ways-- physically, emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally. I strive to create a safe and empowering environment where clients feel they can disclose their experiences and receive support. I'm also committed to life-long learning to best support my clients.on goes here

  • Person-centered:

    Research and my own clinical experience both indicate that the most significant factor of change in therapy is the quality of the relationship between therapist and client. Therefore, I strive to show up authentically, with empathy, and without judgment in session. I see my clients and myself as a team and see our work as collaborative.
